Millions of people around the world are believed to suffer from long COVID yet little remains known about the condition – though research has recently proposed several theories for its cause.
However"for each of these hypotheses, the data is not very solid yet", Robineau said."The causes may not be exclusive. They could be linked or even succeed each other in the same individual, or be different in different individuals."For the last year, the Hotel-Dieu hospital in Paris has been offering long COVID patients a half-day treatment course.
"They meet an infectious disease specialist, a psychiatrist, then a doctor specializing in sports rehabilitation," said Brigitte Ranque, who runs the protocol dubbed CASPER. "In the team's experience, a majority of the symptoms can be attributed to functional somatic syndromes," she said. These are a group of chronic disorders such as chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia that have no known cause.
Cognitive behavioral therapy, a psychological approach often used for those syndromes, is used to treat long COVID alongside supervised physical activity, Ranque said. "The patients are brought back in three months later. The majority of them are better. More than half say they are cured," she told AFP.
